餘義如別說者,以此菩薩示成佛時,於第四禪色究竟頂自在天上,有妙淨土出過三界,十地菩薩當生其中,菩薩坐於大寶蓮華,其座縱廣百萬三千大千世界。於蓮華外有十三千大千世界微塵數小蓮華座以為眷屬,各有菩薩而坐其上。是大菩薩放十種光,謂於足下出百萬阿僧祇光明,照十方世界一切地獄。乃至第十頂上放若干光明,照十方世界所有諸佛。光繞十匝,住於空中,成光明雲網臺,高廣嚴淨。於光明中,悉雨寶香、寶珠、纓絡諸莊嚴具,供養諸佛,光明入諸佛足下。爾時諸佛一時同放白毫相光,照大菩薩,其光即入大菩薩頂。又放阿僧祇眷屬光,照眷屬華座諸小菩薩,其光各入諸菩薩頂已,應時得佛無量三昧,應時得佛無量智慧,即得佛位,墮在佛數。

Regarding "the remaining meanings are as explained elsewhere": when this bodhisattva demonstrates the attainment of Buddhahood, atop the Akaniṣṭha summit of the fourth dhyāna in the Maheśvara heaven, there is a wondrous pure land that surpasses the three realms. Bodhisattvas of the tenth bhūmi are to be born into it. The bodhisattva sits upon a great jewel lotus flower, whose seat measures one million great trichiliocosms in breadth and length. Outside the lotus flower, there are retinue jewel lotus seats numbering as many as the dust motes in ten great trichiliocosms, each with a bodhisattva seated upon it. This great bodhisattva emits ten kinds of light: from beneath the feet, emitting one million asaṃkhyeyas of rays of light that illuminate all the hells in the worlds of the ten directions, up to the tenth, where from the crown of the head a number of rays of light are emitted that illuminate all the buddhas in the worlds of the ten directions. The light circles ten times and abides in space, forming an elevated, vast, adorned, and pure terrace of light-clouds and light-nets. From within the light, it rains down jewel incense, jewel pearls, necklaces, and all manner of ornaments to make offerings to all the buddhas, and the light enters beneath the feet of the buddhas. At that time, all the buddhas simultaneously emit the light of the white curl between their brows (ūrṇā-kośa), illuminating the great bodhisattva, and that light enters the crown of the great bodhisattva's head. They also emit asaṃkhyeyas of retinue lights, illuminating the lesser bodhisattvas on the retinue flower seats; when those rays of light have entered the crowns of the heads of those respective bodhisattvas, they immediately attain immeasurable samādhis of the Buddha, immediately attain immeasurable wisdom of the Buddha, attain the Buddha stage, and enter the ranks of the buddhas.
